least partially unpaved summits.

bike, also trails etc.
- tabulation order: highest elevation first
- s(u) means summit not listed in maps or books.
- if one of two approaches is paved, the pass is
listed in this table, not in the "paved
passes" table.
-.Passes that contain a principal paved and
alternate unpaved approach are listed in this table
and the "paved passes" table.
